Online Scheduling

Access

Access to the laboratory and growth facility requires permission from the Director of Research Facilitation (email).

Training

Individuals interested in reserving specific instruments for use must have record of training for the equipment requested. Individuals must complete and be current on their annual renewal for EH&S Laboratory Safety training and any additional trainings pertinent to their research before working in the Weld Hill Research Building. For example, use of the confocal microscope requires safety training for lasers or laser microscopes in addition to general lab safety training.

Online Scheduling

Use of certain machines requires a reservation via the Online Scheduling application as a matter of policy. New users should follow the registration instructions below; current account holders can login to Online Reservations.
